- The instrument is apply to test ASTM D5 Needle penetration and ASTM
D217/D1403 Cone penetration.
- The instrument is suitable to determine thepenetration of highway bitumen, modified asphalt, as well as liquid
petroleum asphalt or residue of emulsified asphalt after
evaporation.
- The test condition is described as follows:The penetration of bituminous materials is expressed as the
distance that a 100 g±0.05 g standard needle vertically penetrates
into the sample without measurable fraction in 5 s at a constant
temperature bath of 25±0.1 °C.
- It is used for evaluating the consistency of asphalt. The larger
the penetration is; the thinner and softer the asphalt is.
- The instrument can also be used for inspecting industry materials
such as solid granule, powder, colloid, as well as food materials
such as cream, glycine, etc.
- It has been widely used in the field of food industry, highway and
traffic departments and other departments.
